Hi y'all!

So, I'm Matt from Minnesota! I finally had VSG on August 2, 2017. Just a little over 2 months ago. I'm not losing the big #'s as I was led to believe I'd be losing! Not only that, but I used to work both in Public Safety and Emergency Medical Services. And ever since putting on all this weight, and realizing that I could in fact possibly become one of those patients that I've dealt with over the years. Which ultimately led to me leaving my dream job. Do I miss it, you betcha! I'm lacking the confidence to go back and get re-certified and someday re-hired. I don't know where I lost or how I lost the confidence.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of loss after surgery or before surgery? And how or what did it take to reclaim your dreams/goals?

Anyway, thanks for listening/reading this!

- Matt
